Email Function

(WIP, Not Workable Solution yet)

Mailer returned: Failed to add recipient: pacroy@gmail.com [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 550, response: relay not permitted)] 

To get email function work within Wiki, please proceed the following:

1) Edit LocalSettings.php and add the following lines

$wgSMTP = array(
	'host'     => "mediawiki-smtp", // could also be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located
	'IDHost'   => "pacroy.com",     // Generally this will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org)
	'port'     => 25,               // Port to use when connecting to the SMTP server
	'auth'     => false             // Should we use SMTP authentication (true or false)
   );
